BANGKOK — At least one person was killed and three injured this morning when fire engulfed the top floors of a 10-story building located downtown on Soi Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 18.

Firefighters have brought the blaze under control, but rescue efforts continue after at least 10 people were stuck inside the building after a fire broke at around 10:22am. Firefighters and rescue workers faced dangerous conditions as the building was said to be on the verge of collapse.

A reporter on the scene said workers could not reach the first three floors of the building.
